right-click file context menu

[BastetCat]

I need to be able to right-click on a file then with my vb code -
Copy that file to another folder
Catch the filename & put it's details in a database.

The problems I have are -
If I create a Task bar context menu, the file loses it's focus when I right-click the context menu...

If I create an Explorer context menu item, this is OK....HOWEVER, I want to do the same with emails & the Right click context menu changes.

Am I approaching this correctly ???

Please help as this is driving me crazy.

Regards
